PVM applications can be composed of any +number of separate processes, or components, written in a mixture of C, +C++ and Fortran. The system is portable to a wide variety of +architectures, including workstations, multiprocessors, supercomputers and +PCs. + +PVM is a byproduct of ongoing research at several institutions, and is +made available to the public free of charge. |
